The full details of clearings for the week covered by the
above statement will be given next Saturday. We cannot,
of course, furnish them to-day, bank clearings being made
up by the various clearing houses at noon on Saturday, and
hence in the above the last twenty-four hours of the week
have to be in all cases estimated, as we go to press Friday night.
We present below our usual detailed figures for the previous week, covering the returns for the period ending with
Saturday noon, July 21, and the results for the corresponding week in 1899, 1898 and 1897 are also given. In
comparison with the preceding week there is a decrease in
the aggregate exchanges of one hundred and fourteen and ahalf million dollars, the loss at New York being eighty millions.
Contrasted with the week of 1899 the total for the
whole country shows a decline of 13*3 per cent. Compared with the week of 1898 the current returns record

report that the Ministers were already on their way to
Tien Tsin, under escort, is either true, or else is the
most extraordinary in all the long series of canards. If
true, the lifting of the veil must, at this moment of
writing, be very near at hand.
Whatever its outcome in other regards, this episode
will remain conspicuous in modern history as having
presented to the civilized governments a new problem
both of diplomacy and of war. The anomalies which
the world has witnessed in each phase of the Chinese

in that regard has been duplicated in the leading

In Great Britain and Germany
business has been as good and trade as active as here.
One result has been a world-wide era of high prices.
This alone has been an important factor in swelling
export values. Another result has been a great increase in the demand for many American goods and
products. The chief feature, a3 will be remembered, in
the development of our export trade of late years has
been the growth in the exports of manufactures.

throw an interesting light on the existing sltua*
tion in the iron trade.
The reaction in the trade has
been in progress for several months. It was in April
that the Chairman of the board of directors of the
American Steel & Wire Company made his startling
pronouncement regarding the difficulty experienced
in finding a market for accumulating stocks of goods,
and since then matters in the iron and steel industry
have been going from bad to worse. Yet, despite the
check imposed by these circumstances, the output of:
iron for the half-year is found to be the very largest
on record, surpassing even the production for the last
half of 1899, which had far exceeded any previous

In noting last week the proposed increase from $2,000,000
to $3,000,000 in the capital of the Continental National Bank
of Chicago, we adverted to the fact that the officials of the
bank had found themselves obliged to take this step because
of the growing dimensions of the business of the institution.
Study of the bank's returns for the last five years, as published under the various calls of the Comptroller of the Currency, discloses that the business of the bank has been developed in a really striking way. The figures are given in
the table which follows. We have had occasion to refer of
late to quite a number of instances of expansion on the part

resolution was then adopted [to increase the capital from
$3,000,000 to $5,000,000, and the stockholders voted to enlarge
the board of directors, making the number fifteen instead of
eleven as at present. The four new directors elected were
W. L. Brown, John A. Spoor, John H. Barker and D. Mark
Cummings. It was resolved to apply $1,000,000 of the new
stock of the bank for the purpose of acquiring the business of
the Union National. After the stockholders meeting the
directors met and adopted a resolution to offer $1,000,000 of
the new stock to present stockholders atjpar, pro rata, according to their present holdings, subscriptions to be made and
paid in on or before Aug. 18. It was also resolved that the
remaining $1,000,000 of additional stock be given for the
business of the Union National, whose stockholders are to
take the stock before Sept. 1, when the consolidation will
become effective. D. B. Forgan, President of the Union
National, was elected a director of the First National, to fill a
vacancy caused by the resignation of A. A. Carpenter, which
was accepted at the last meeting of the board. Mr. Forgan
was then elected Vice-President, to rank next to President
James B. Forgan. August Blum, Cashier of the Union
National, was elected Assistant Cashier, to rank next to
Holmes Hoge, who is senior Assistant Cashier. The stockholders of the Union National met July 25 and ratified the

of wheat is a little less favorable than it
was last year; but that of barley is better and that of oats is
decidedly better. The condition of hay and grass is also
much more satisfactory, and so is that of potatoes.
Gold is being steadily withdrawn from the Bank of England for export to Paris, owing no doubt to the Exhibition.
The profit upon the transaction is not very large. Therefore it is expected that the Bank of England will raise its
selling price for Napoleons with a view to stop the drain.
The Bank does not hold a very large gold reserve. Indeed, it
is weaker than it was at this time last year; and therefore it
is necessary that it should take measures to protect its reserve. Yet it would doubtless be difficult to raise the rate
of discount; for, owing to the absence of speculation and the
quietness in trade, there is little demand for money, and unless, therefore, the Bank were to borrow largely in the open
market, it is a question whether it could make a higher rate
effective.
Probably it would attain its end by raising the

In Paris there is a more hopeful feeling as the Exhibition,
attracting large numbers of foreigners. Still, trade all
over France is quiet and is likely to remain so. In Germany,
as already said, there has been a recovery from the great
alarm of last week; but the banks are very anxious not to
encourage speculation once more; and probably the liquidation will go on. At the present moment money in Germany
is growing easier; the Imperial Bank this week has lowered
its rate from
5^ per cent to 5 per cent. In Russia there is
exceedingly great depression. Most of the banks are in difficulties.
Many of them, indeed, have been kept standing

WALL. STREET, FRIDAY. JULY «7, 1900.-5 P. M.
The Money Market and Financial Situation.— Operations
at the Stock Exchange have attracted very little attention
this week outside the small circle of Board room traders
that has participated in them. In addition to the usual
factors which contribute to make business dull at this
season, the condition of affairs in China is becoming more
serious day by day, and the complications liable to develop
in connection therewith tend to encourage a feeling of
caution in financial circles. Naturally this feeling is more
acute at European centers than on this side of the Atlantic,
but there are evidences that it is beginning to affect the
local markets.
On the other hand, the crop prospects are regarded as
more encouraging than they recently were, and a foreign
demand for all our agricultural products at good prices
seems assured. Moreover, it is argued that our industrial
affairs will prosper by reason of the Chinese complication?,
and efforts have been made to stimulate a demand for iron
and steel securities on that theory.
Although the foreign exchange market has continued
strong through the week and rates have advanced, no gold
has been withdrawn at this writing for shipment abroad, and
the local money market remains in the same easy condition
as of late.
The open market rates for call loans on the Stock Exchange
during the week on stock and bond collaterals have ranged
from \\i to \% per cent. To-day's rates on call were 1*4 to
1% Per cent. Prime commercial paper 4 to $% per cent

State and Railroad Bonds. Sales of State bonds at the
Board include $1,000 Louisiana consol. 4s at 107%; $15,000
Virginia fund, debt 2-3s of 1991 at 89% to 90 and $30,000
Virginia 6s deferred trust receipts at 7 to 7^.
The market for railway bonds continues dull, narrow and
professional, but was generally firm, and a few issues are
notably higher. Transactions at the Exchange averaged
about $1,000,000 par value per day, in which a few lowpriced bonds were conspicuous, including Peoria & Eastern
income 4s, which advanced nearly 3 points, a part of which
was subsequently lost.

Chicago Union Traction Co.
(Report for the year ending Jane 30, 1900. J
At the first annual meeting held on June 24 President John
M. Roach
Results.
said in substance:
—The business done during the fiscal year has been excellent,
showing a satisfactory increase over.business done the preceding year
by the leased lines, notwithstanding the trying oonditionsunder which
the company has passed during the first year of its existenoe. The
conditions upon which our earnings are based since the 1st of February, 1900, have been very unfavorable. Unsatisfactory conditions
have existed with the various industries which have not up to this
time been satisfactorily settled. The weather for the months of April,
May and June was
anything but good lor railroad business. The
Northwestern Elevated road, which started up on May 31, 1900. also
had its effect on the inoome of this company. With the settlement of
the industrial question and reasonably fair weather, the stook of the
company should be a good, profitable t nd safe investment.
Notwithstanding these unfavorable and embarrassing conditions,
we have earned a dividend on the preferred stook and besides the
road-bed and rolling stock are in better condition than at any time
during the history of these companies.
Improvements.— The expenses for electrical construction, equipment,
etc., have been very large, aggregating $821,236.
Other statistics are
Car mileage, 29,691,850; passengers
carried, 208,490,562; percentage of transfer passengers, 38*71

American Pneumatic Service Co.
(Report for the 6 months ended Dec. 31, 1899. J
President Dillaway, at the annual meeting, said iu substance
The action of Congress regarding pneumatic tube appropriat'on was
radically changed from what was at first indicated by the vote
of the House abolishing all appropiiations for pneumatic tube service
The Senate apparently assumed a decided stand as to the utility
of this service for publio mail. The House was at last obliged to accede to the views of the Senate and to appropriate the amount necessary for continuing the system under existing contracts and further
appropiiate $10,000 for the expenses of an investigation into the o st
of constructing and leasing pneumatic tube systems to be made by the

quarries at Egypt, Lebigb Co., Pa.
Also CCO shares, being the entire issue, of the capital stock of the
United Building Mateiial Co. of New J ersey, located at 621 Broad-
way, New York City. This company was incorporated March 15,
1890, for the purpose of dealing In cement, barreling and warehousing the same, and also for manufacturing, if such be necessary. The
oompany owns boats, barges, stock of merchandise, warehousing
buildings and leases of wharf property iu Jersey City and New York.
Also the business, good-will and fixtures, leases, merchandise, etc.,
of the Arm of Lesley & Trinkle, of Fairmount and Delaware avenues,
Philadelphia.
Also the Jordan Poitland Cement Works, of Jordan, Onondago Co.,
N. Y, including lands, marl and clay beds, oovering nearly hOO acres.
Also in fee and on mining leases some 2,500 aores of cement lands
carrying about 27 miles of water front on creeks and streams in Nansemond and Isle of Wight counties, Va., near Norfolk, Old Point Comfort and Newport News, Va.
The mortgage

July. Last dividend paid Jan. 15, 1900. 2 per cent regular
and 1 per cent extra for four months. V. 70, p. 1250.
The American Company will begin in a few days the construction
of its system in Boston for the carriage of parcels and messages for
general and publio use, independent of mail business. It is a safe estimate that in * city even of the size of Boston there are annually
sent to the different districts from the retail stores between 6,000,000
and 7,000,000 packages, the larger part of which could be oarried
in pneumatic tubes, at a tremendous saving of time and with no increase, and probably a decrease, in expense. Applications have already begun to be made to the looal company in Boston by retail
storekeepers for the delivery of their goods, and there is no doubt in
our minds of the great extent of this business.
Seveial of the large department stores of Chicago distribute and
deliver between 4,000,000 and 5,000,000 packages per year each.
The prospect indicates favorable action on the part of the City Council of Chicago in granting a franchise to the American Company, and
their action will likely be followed by that of several other cities in
which the American Company is already applying for rights in
streets.
The company was incorporated July 1, 1899, and the following report is for the six months to the end of the fiscal year
Ddc. 31. The company during this period was not in a position to have any earnings from output of its own, and the

Flemington Coal & Coke Company.
(Report for year ending April SO, 1900. J
President S. L. Simpson, at the annual meeting, said in
substanct
The output has been increased from an average of 6CO tons per
working day to l.OCO tons. When certain new buildings and other
improvements are completed, which will be within a few months, the
output will lie increased to 1,500 tons. A complete trolley system
has been installed in the mines capable of handling 4.000 tons of ooal
per day. The Baltimore <fe Ohio RR. Co. has put in four sidings on
the property during the year and also, at? its own expense, weighing
soales. so that the cars can now be weighed at the mines instead of at
the nearest weighing point as heretofore.
All enoumhrances, liens, etc, against the property have been paid
offexoept the bonded indebtedness, the ordinary current expenses,
and a balance on the cleotrlo tramway system, whioh 1b payable during the next year and a half.
The average prolit of the company at the present prioe of $1 10 per
ton at the mine should be about 30 cents p*r ton. but at present the
oompany is delivering some coal on old oontraots taken at 65 cents
per ton. When these are out of the way the company should make its
full profit.

says:
the outcome of a disagreement between the parties
concerning the construction of an agreement between the Lehigh
Valley RR. Co , the East Jersey Water Co. and the City of Newark,
and of a supplement agreement between the East Jersey Water Co.
and the city. The former is dated Sept. 24, 1889, and the latter Aug.
l, 1892.
Under the original contract the city agreed to pay $6,000,000 for the rights to the water in the Pequannock watershed, $4,000,OOO when the plant was put in operation and the remainder when
it should be finally turned over to the city.
The company was to continue in possession of the watershed until Sept 2i of this year.
It is insisted by the city that 'he company shall convey, under the
terms of the contract, Canistear Reservoir and Echo Lake, both of
which are in the Pequannock watershed, in addition to tbe Oak Ridge
and Clinton reservoirs and the Maoopin intake reservoir. The oompiny
is willing to convey the latter three, but has never oonoeded any rights
to the city in Canistear Reservoir or Echo Lake. It has never drawn
any water from Canistear, and has used Echo Lake only to eke out the
quantity it has been required to supply under the terms of the contract. This is 27,500,000 gallons a day in all kinds of weather. At
the time set for the transfer of the watershed the company guaranteed
to be able to produce and deliver in Newark from the watershed 50,000,000 gallons of water daily in perpetuity. The authorities contend
that 50,000,000 gallons a day cannot be obtained in the watershed
unless Canistear and Echo Lake also be used. The company claims it
can give such a quantity without drawing on them.

—The "Railroad
Gazette" with its issue this week has a
forty-eight page 'Construction Supplement." It gives an alphabetically arranged list of the railroads now building or proposed in this country. The list includes about 1 500 projects
distributed amoDg some 1,090 different companies.
The
"Gazette" figures, which have been revised since the issue of
the preliminary statement, show 2,117 miles of road were
built in the first six months of this year, and it is estimated
that the total construction for the twelve months will be between 5,000 and 6,0, miles. In the distribution of the new
mileage for the six months among the States we note that
none is credited to Kansas, Nevada or New Mexico, and in
1899 only 12 miles were built in Kansas. There has been more
or less construction in all the States and Territories with the
exception of the three mentioned and Delaware, District of
Columbia, Alaska and five of the New England States.

tion in practically all sections of the cotton belt as being
favorable for an improvement in the condition of the crop.
The demand for cotton, both at the South and Liverpool, has
been flat; in fact, the daily sales of spot cotton reported at
the latter market the past week have been the smallest recorded for a considerable numbar of years past. The
reports as to the condition of trade in the cotton
goods market also have been of a dull business,
and there has been increased uneasiness over the situation in
China. Against this, however, is the strong statistical position, with the markets in Liverpool and New Orleans under
the control of bull cliques, and a general disinclination to
sell, awaiting further development as to the prospects of the
yield from the growing crop. To-day there continued a
quiet and nervous market. The opening was slightly lower
on the character of the foreign advices and favorable crop
news. During the day, however, on scattered buying and
absence of sellers, prices advanced a few points, closing
steady 2@4 points higher for the day. Cotton on the spot has
been dull, closing at 10 l-16c. for middling upland?.
The rates on and off middling, as established Nov. 15, 1899,
by the Revision Committee, at which grades other than
middling may be delivered on contraot, are as follows.

evening are generally of a satisfac-
tory character. Beneficial rains are reported in many districts along the Atlantic as well as in other sections where
moisture was claimed to be needed, and elsewhere the indications are that the weather has been as a rule quite favorable.

further improvement during the week. Our Helena correspondent reports the plant to be steadily improving; from
Nashville we are advised that it is improving daily, Memphis
states that it shows general improvement, and Texas advices
denote that conditions have been about as desired.

Egyptian Crop. The report of the Alexandria ^General
Produce Association for the month of June is as follows
It is -with pleasure we report that June, which is one of the two most
dillimlt months of the year, has passed without too many 00m plaints
having been made as regards irrigation. This Is thanks to the efforts
of the Irrigation Department, which has managed in such a way as to
:
provide a just distribution of water everywhere. In the southern pari
of Lower Exypt the state of the cotton plant is normal, but in many or
the northern districts they are not as forward as usual. It is also
noted that in many localities the flowering is not as good as It might
be. Worms, more or less numerous, appeared in many places. The
heat, coupled with the efforts of oulttvators, destroyed them quickly
without any damage being done. Information from Upper Eirypt ana
the Fayoum is very favorable, both respecting Irrigation and the development of the cotton plant. The general situation has therefore
improved sinoe our last resuni6, as regards the fears that we had for
June, but it must not be forgotten that July is the most critical month
as far as concerns irrigation.

Owing
to a continued downward tendency of values for
wheat, buyers of wheat flour have been extremely slow
in making purchases, they lacking confidence in the situa-
Although mills have offered supplies at some concessions in prices, they have not been disposed to force sales,
claiming that with the present cost of wheat they are unable
to sell, unless they take losses, on a lower basis of values.
tion.
The export business has continued quiet. Business in the
market for wheat flour has been quiet and prices have ruled
in buyers' favor. Corn meal has been dull and easy, in sympathy with an easier market for corn.
Speculation in wheat for future delivery has been on a
limited scale only, and the tendency of prices has been downward. The principal depressing factors have been weaker
foreign advices and an absence of a good general export demand, although during the latter part of the week there were
reports circulated to the effect that foreign shippers had made
large purchases at interior points of new crop winter wheat.
Mills also were reported large buyers. The movement of
the winter- wheat crop has continued large, which has been
an important bearish factor. At the close, however, advices
received from the interior predict a falling off in the
receipts, saying that the
recent heavy rains in the
Southwest have interfered with threshing. Advices from the
Northwest report no change in the situation of the springwheat crop, indications being of a short crop. On Wednesday advices were received from Paris giving reduced estimates of the yield of the French wheat crop. Business in
the local spot market has been quiet, and only a limited
amount of wheat has been reported sold at outports for export prices have declined with futures. To-day the market
was firmer on stronger foreign advices, unfavorable crop
;
news from the Northwest and an improving export demand.
The spot market was fairly active and firmer sales for ex;
port here and at outports were 300,000 bushels.

Government Weekly Grain Report. Mr. James Berry,
Chief of the Climate and Crop Division of the U. S. Weather
Bureau, made public on Tuesday the telegraphic reports on
the grain crops in the various States for the week ending
July 23 as follows :
Weather.— Rain is very generally needed in the Atlantic Coast disnorth of Florida, the drought being quite severe in the Carolina*,
portions of New England, while too much rain has
fallen over portions of the central valleys, Northern Texas, the Central Gulf States and Northern Florida. Very favorable temperature
conditions have prevailed during the week, except in the Middle Atlantic States, Upper Missouri Valley and over portions of Washington
and Oregon, where unusually high temperatures have been detritricts
New Jersey and
mental to crops.
Corn.— While the condition of corn in Kansas and Nebraska has im-
proved, the reports indicate that much of the early crop in portions of
these States has been seriousiy injured by drought. In the other great
corn States of the central valleys the or op has made rapid growth
under highly favorable conditions. Throughout the Atlantic Coast
districts corn is generally in need of rain.
Winter Wheat.— Rains have interfered with threshing and the completion of winter-wheat harvest where unfinished over the more
northerly seotions of the central valleys, but the conditions have been
highly favorable for harvesting in the Middle Atlantic States and on
the North Pacific Coast. In the central valleys and lake region harvesting and threshing have not only been delayed but rains have
caused injury to grain in shook in portions of these districts.
Spring Wheat.— Spring- wheat harvest is in general progress in
South Dakota and portions of Minnesota, and has begun in North Da*
kota. In South Dakota and Minnesota the crop has made advancement, although excessive rains and looal hail-storms have caused some
damage in Southeastern South Dakota. In North Dakota the high
temperatures have proved injurious, and in Oregon and Washington
the crop has suffered from hot winds.
Oats.— Oat harvest is nearing completion in the central valleys,
where the crop has suffered to some extent from rains.
Hay.— Haying has been interrupted and the orop damaged to some
extent by rains in the central valleys. In New York and New England haying is praotioaUy finished, the yield in New York being better
than expected.

served to hold the decline in check to some extent has been
the comparatively light offerings from the interior, and
country acceptances also have been small. Foreign markets
have been easier. The spot market has been weaker, following the decline in futures. At the lower prices exporters
have continued large buyers; in fact, on Tuesday and
"Wednesday their purchases here and at outports amounted
to about 2,000,000 bushels. To-day the market was stronger
on light receipts and stronger foreign advices. The spot
market was moderately active; the sales for export here and
at outports were 425,000 bushels.
